Other Environmental Practices: Waste Treatment - Prior to 2021, the plant trash and filter cake solid waste streams containing nickel compounds as well as other TRI and non-TRI chemicals were disposed of in a landfill. Starting in 2021, disposal of these (2) waste streams was switched to WTE facilities which supply the electric grid. The total amount landfilled was reduced from 410,000 lbs. in 2020 to 65,000 lbs in 2021 and 0 lbs. in 2022, excluding a relatively small amount of residual ash. |

Source Reduction: Source Reduction - Two solid waste streams containing nickel compounds as well as other TRI and non-TRI chemicals which were previously disposed of in a landfill have been switched so they are ultimately disposed of at a Covanta WTE facility. Although the disposal cost is approximately twice as much, this dramatically reduces the ultimate landfill amount (only small quantity of residual ash is landfilled), and, while the nickel metal itself is not destroyed, the energy recovery is significant - the facility supplies the electric grid. Switching disposal of these combined waste streams from the landfill to the WTE facility has resulted in a reduction of approximately 300,000 lbs. landfilled in 2021. |
